Computer Vision
Introduction to
Computer Vision
Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that enables
computers to "see" and understand images and videos. It involves
mimicking human vision, allowing computers to analyze visual data.
What is Computer Vision?
Image Acquisition
Capturing images using
cameras or other sensors.
Image Processing
Manipulating images to
enhance quality or extract
features.
Image Analysis
Interpreting image content
and extracting information.
Decision Making
Making decisions based on
image analysis, such as
identifying objects or
predicting events.
Applications of Computer
Vision
1 Self-Driving Cars
Autonomous vehicles rely
on computer vision to
perceive the environment.
2 Medical Imaging
Analyzing medical scans to
detect anomalies and assist
in diagnosis.
3 Security and
Surveillance
Identifying individuals,
tracking movement, and
monitoring security threats.
4 Retail Analytics
Analyzing customer
behavior, optimizing store
layout, and managing
inventory.
Image Acquisition and
Preprocessing
1 Image Acquisition
Capturing images using cameras or other sensors.
2 Noise Reduction
Removing unwanted noise or artifacts from the image.
3 Image Enhancement
Adjusting brightness, contrast, and sharpness to improve clarity.
4 Geometric Correction
Correcting distortions or perspective shifts in the image.
Feature Extraction and Detection
Edge Detection
Identifying boundaries or sharp
transitions between different regions.
Corner Detection
Finding points where edges intersect
or change direction.
Blob Detection
Identifying regions of uniform color
or texture, such as objects or
patterns.
Image Classification and
Recognition
Feature Extraction
Extracting relevant features from the image.
Feature Matching
Comparing extracted features to known patterns.
Classification
Assigning a label or category to the image.
Object Detection and
Tracking
Object Detection Identifying and locating objects
in an image or video.
Object Tracking Following the movement of
detected objects over time.
Challenges in Computer
Vision
Lighting Variations
Dealing with changes in
illumination conditions.
Camera Perspective
Adapting to different camera
angles and viewpoints.
Occlusion
Handling objects that are partially
or completely hidden.
Motion Blur
Recognizing objects that are
moving or blurred.
The Future of Computer
Vision
Computer vision is rapidly evolving with advancements in deep
learning, hardware, and data availability. Expect to see applications in
autonomous systems, healthcare, and other domains.
Case Study: Computer
Vision in Autonomous
Vehicles
Overview:Computer Vision (CV) enables
autonomous vehicles (AVs) to perceive and
interpret their surroundings. It processes visual
data from cameras to detect objects like
pedestrians, vehicles, and road signs, ensuring
safe navigation
Problem:
AVs must accurately detect and respond to obstacles in
real-time under various conditions (e.g., weather,
lighting). Errors in perception can lead to accidents,
making reliable object detection critical.
Solution:
CV techniques like image classification, object detection,
and semantic segmentation allow AVs to identify objects
and predict their movement. Tesla’s Autopilot system, for
example, uses neural networks and cameras to interpret
visual data and navigate safely.
Challenges:
Data Processing: High computational demand for
real-time image processing.Adverse Conditions:
CV struggles in poor visibility (fog, rain) or low
light.Edge Cases: Rare, unexpected scenarios
(e.g., animals on the road).
Impact:
CV enhances AV safety and efficiency by reducing
human error. The future lies in improving
algorithms, hardware, and sensor fusion for
better accuracy, especially in challenging
conditions.
Computer vision is an evolving field that allows machines to interpret
visual data, with applications in areas like autonomous vehicles, facial
recognition, and medical imaging. Its advancements promise to enhance
everyday life and improve efficiency across various industries.
